asking if they subscribe to other myth based beliefs, religions, etc

What you actually said:

Out of interest are you religious or subject to some other form of mythical belief system? I ask because clearly you lack motivation for the truth, preferring hearsay and urban legend that I must assume supports a wider world view. by @Hackerman_uwu

My thought: this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.

So, it's basically 4chans all the way down.

Nominally, you'd need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they'd vet your configuration before adding you.

The famous example you're thinking of is Jimmy Snyder, aka Jimmy the Greek, a sports commentator and sports betting expert who used to work for CBS sports. He was interviewed as part of a series about civil rights in the US, and the interviewer was sort of expecting him to say something pleasant about black folks' success in athletics opening doors for education and leadership, etc.

Instead he made some pretty astonishing claims that were intensely racist.

Wait... they're just giving it away?

California, actually. Although that's probably worse.

I would proudly stink of back-bacon and maple syrup, if given the opportunity.

What would "discrimination" look like in a reddit-like link sharing service?

I'm not even sure what that word would imply in a discussion forum. It usually applies to things like wages, job opportnities, access, etc.

Something something Stallman was right (about this specific thing, anyway).
